hi guys, i have just read a thread in other forum about scramble and ítīs scary. Maybe that is the real thing but in fact i donīt know too much about it.

the thing is they say that if you wanna do it effectively you need several phone lines, at least 2 computers with high speed internet connect (so, several people), fax. And that most positions get filled in the 1st hours of the 1st postmatch day. So it sounds like a very difficult task for one person.

should we hire/buy one of those services in the internet??? fmgamerica or imgresidency or things like that???

thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience smiling face

yes my friend, it is very difficult. A friend of mine who scramble last year had six faxes & phones, five PC with good net connection and 4 friends who help him. It is very difficult to gain access to unfilled list because the site is extremly busy in that half of hour.

good luck

shockedshocked Oh my God...this is so scary...in my case, i just have one phone line and one internet connection...no fax machine. Any advice anyone? Any kind of advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. bye and good luck to all.

today is a big day for me, i turned into a senior member of this site. <:-P nod

thank you to all of you


  #8

congrats Vali grin, thank you.

rema: a scramble service cost around $370 USD or even more , so think well about it. You can try to get a fax if a relative or a friend has. You also can check www.myfax.com , itīs like a fax via e-mail, check it out, i think itīs very good and cheap.

I will prepare myself for the Scramble with myfax.com, i will use eras and will also use e-mail. I will scan all my documents into an image file. That way i can have three sources.
